-  * Output enable (/OE) delay implemented on pin of 74HC595 chips. At power up the capacitor will charge, holding all outputs in a high impedance state until the +5V rail is stable. At power down this capacitor discharges through a pull down resistor, aided by a diode. One delay circuit is provided for each SCALAR section.+  * Output enable (/OE) delay implemented on pin 13 of 74HC595 chips.

 For minimal external cabling, the BLM connects to a SEQ v4 via an 8-pin DIN connector. This combines MIDI in, MIDI out and power; the communications protocol sent and received by the BLM is standard MIDI. Most users will incorporate a Quad IIC board into their SEQ case, which is the simplest way to arrange the DIN8 connector, optocoupler and header pins. For minimal external cabling, the BLM connects to a SEQ v4 via an 8-pin DIN connector.

   * LEDs are a little bit sensitive; don’t heat them for more than about 2 seconds at a time and apparently they don’t like static discharges... As far as I know, the humidity warnings you get with them are only really applicable to oven reflow soldering.   * LEDs are a little bit sensitive; don’t heat them for more than about 2 seconds at a time and apparently they don’t like static discharges...

   * Rev 1.1 boards have quite small ground plane isolation, and the soldermask is somewhat prone to scratching. Take extra care when soldering capacitors and ICs that you don't accidentally short the +5V rail, as this will make troubleshooting difficult. ​   * Rev 1.1 boards have quite small ground plane isolation, and the soldermask is somewhat prone to scratching.

 +==== Parts notes ====
 +
 +
 +  * You can choose either Blue+Green LEDs (recommended) or Blue+Red. You could interchange some Green for Red. Green+Red is not recommended as the colour mixing is poor.
 +  * Slider height: I specified 15mm shaft sliders, you could change these for 10mm. 15mm will protrude 13mm out of the case, which might be a bit long. 10mm will only protrude 8mm, so they would be less likely to break off and will probably be a bit more sturdy. TK. suggests 1k should work, the others are too high in resistance to get good jitter-free values (10k sliders with the shorter shaft aren't readily available).
 +  * You should use the indicated panel mount DIN, but a cheaper pair of DIN8 plugs might work.
 +  * M2 hardware is a bit difficult to find in normal stores, but Boltbase on eBay has good deals.
 +
 +
 +==== Tools needed ====
 +
 +
 +  * Soldering iron, I managed with a normal tip but it’s a bit tricky with some components
 +  * Solder, probably leaded. 0.5mm is strongly recommended for at least the ICs (1206 can be easily done with 1mm solder).
 +  * Desoldering wick and/or solder pump. Useful when the pads get too much solder
 +  * Tweezers to pick and place components
 +  * Cutters for diodes and a few through hole components
 +  * Good eyes or light and a loupe
 +  * 2-3 small clamps
 +  * Flat work surface
 +  * Multimeter, test continuity between pads
 +
 +==== Dimensions ====
 +
 +Here are the dimensions for the button, hole and slider locations. Note that the unmarked mounting holes are M3 (3.2mm diameter)
